Ultima, = the last things in reference to the first and middle things

Lo here the fire of hell, which compared to ours on earth, it differs in heat, in light, in fuel, in durance: Let your ⟨p. 152⟩souls work on these objects, that they never come nearer to those flames.

Lo here the fire of hell, which compared to ours on earth, it differs in heat, in light, in fuell, in durance: Let your ⟨p. 152⟩souls work on these objects, that they never come nearer to those flames.

Use. 1 Who amongst us would dwell with devouring fire, who amongst us would dwell with everlasting burnings? ¹Beloved, as you tender your souls, and would escape the flames, reform your lives whiles you have yet a little time. You hear it sounded in Synagogues, and preached in pulpits: what sound? but heaven or hell, joys or torments; the one befalling the good, and the other the just end of the wicked. Do we believe this truth? and dare we commit sin, whose reward is this fiery death? upon due consideration, how is it that we sleep, or rest, or take a minutes ease? lesser dangers have bestraught some out of their wits, nay bereaved many of their lives: how is it then that we run headlong into this fire, yet never weigh whither we are going, till we are dropping into the pit, whence there is no redemption. Look about you while it is called to day, or otherwise woe and alas that ever you were born, be sure a time will come, when miseries shall march, Angels beat alarms, God sound destruction, and the tents of his enemies be all set on fire, Bind them in bundles to burn them.
